It all started last Sept. 23, 2014 with a series of greetings to Aegis Global from groups Phantom Hackers.PH and Lulzsec Pilipinas. Avid followers, familiar with their ways, knew that their next target would have something to do with Aegis Global. (See screenshot below)

These groups have been involved in attacking websites in the past as means of protesting on topics involving the Philippines. This time around, their actions seemed to have been triggered by the controversial ad that leaked out with Aegis promoting Malaysia over the Philippines.

The group followed through in their post last Sept. 24, 2014 and Sept. 25, 2015 confirming they have been able to hack the said website and got a copy of Aegis Malaysia files available for download. (See screenshots below)

Up to this writing, the Aegis Global website only shows a blank page and displays the message “We are currently undergoing technical maintenance on our website. We apologize for the inconvenience caused. We will be back shortly”. (See Screenshot below)

The website of the group lulzsec – http://lulzsec.com/ is now seized by ICE – Homeland Security due to alleged willful copyright infringement. If you visit their site you will see this. (See Screenshot below)

While a few expressed concerns that such acts were unlawful and uncalled for, some netizens congratulated both groups for achieving such a feat and are looking forward to hear about their next endeavors. Experts warn citizens to comply with internet protocols and regulations to avoid having their domains seized and shut down.
